There is cancer in the lungs, how can we find 'traces' early? Doctor: If there are 4 abnormalities in the upper body, attention should be paid

The occurrence of cancer damages people's health, and among cancers, lung cancer is the largest cancer. Both morbidity and mortality in the population are among the best in cancer. The inadvertent behavior of many people will plant the seeds of lung cancer, which will eventually affect lung cancer. Lung cancer is also very tricky, and many people can't find this disease.

Lung cancer, how to detect the disease as early as possible and take treatment measures? The doctor said: There is an abnormality in the upper body, which needs to be paid attention to as soon as possible, and traces of the disease may be found.

01. Clubbing

The blood circulation in the human body needs the supply of oxygen. When there is cancer in the lungs, it will also affect the oxygen supply in the body. Fingers are at the end of the blood vessels of the human body, which is more likely to cause finger hypoxia . When the fingers do not receive sufficient oxygen supply , It will also be more prone to chronic hypoxia , which will cause abnormal bulges at the front of the fingers , and abnormal growth of the nails , which look like drumsticks , so they are called " clubbing fingers ".

02. Chest tightness and chest pain

After the occurrence of lung cancer, more than 50% of lung cancer patients will experience symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain, especially in patients with peripheral lung cancer. Not only does the tumor affect lung function, but it also compresses tissues such as the pleura, causing discomfort to the patient. For long-term chest pain, frequent occurrence should be vigilant, it may be a hint of lung cancer.

In addition, the symptoms of chest tightness and chest pain may change from intermittent to frequent as the tumor increases, and last for a long time. As the pain level deepens, the patient may also experience chest and back pain. This pain is more common and worse at night while sleeping.

03. Shoulder pain

There is cancer in the lungs and abnormalities in the shoulders of the upper body. After the tumor occurs, it may not only compress the lungs, but also affect the arm nerves of the human body. , Dense nerves are distributed around the lungs, and the brachial plexus is also required for conduction in the arms. When there is cancer in the lung, the location of the tumor presses on the nerve in the arm, which can cause straining pain in the shoulder.

This pain may occur intermittently during coughing and breathing, and gradually worsens with increased activities such as coughing. There will be pulling pain in the shoulder, but no clear pain point can be found. This can differentiate and differentiate lung cancer from frozen shoulder.

04. Frequent coughing and hemoptysis

When lung cancer occurs, the most immediate symptom is a cough. The occurrence of cough is related to the respiratory tract. Lung cancer can stimulate the body to produce frequent dry coughs. This symptom is common in the early stages of lung cancer. However, with the continuous development of tumors in the body, the dry cough will gradually turn into a phlegm cough. Patients need to secrete sputum to expel the toxins produced by the lungs, but they may also expel some blood caused by the rupture of tumor blood vessels, so that there is blood in the coughed sputum.

When coughing is not terrible, pay attention to frequent coughing. The dry cough gradually turned into hemoptysis, and slowly changed from congestion to hemoptysis. At this time, it is necessary to do a lung examination as soon as possible to detect lung cancer.

The doctor said that the early symptoms of lung cancer are few, but when these four abnormalities appear on the upper body, we should pay attention to them as soon as possible and receive lung CT screening in time to find out lung cancer as soon as possible.
